DISINFO: After the introduction of a visa-free regime with Ukraine, tens...

SUMMARY

After the introduction of a visa-free regime with Ukraine, tens of thousands of neo-Nazis of Ukraine will pour into Europe.

RESPONSE

No evidence given. It is an often repeated disinformation about Ukraine that they are nazis. In fact, the insignificance of the "Right Sector" (which don't identify as nazis but can be laballed as rightwing extremists) is evident from the election results – their candidate received 0.7% of the vote in the May 2014 presidential elections, and the party received 1.8% of the vote in the October 2014 parliamentary elections.
